The people who read posts in the Community Keynote event kicked 10,000 pounds of ass last night. If you were there, thank you. If you weren't, when the podcast goes up I will put a giant blinking link up that says CLICK HERE TO BE RIVETED FOR 90 MINUTES in giant red letters.
I want to thank all the people who read, again. Some of them I only met for the first time as I introduced them, so, Hi, that kind of sucked of me and if the last time I saw you you were coming off stage in tears, or heaving a giant sigh of relief, I want you to know how utterly happy I was that you did what you did up there.
Here are all the links to the pieces we heard last night in the order they were read.
